Verdict

ROCKABYE ROXY (9) has run on strongly at all four runs this time in on the rain affected tracks. Can finally get the breakthrough win at start ten on the firmer track. No excuses today. EL COOL GEE (10) wound up strongly on debut with an encouraging third over 6f at Bathurst. Has to deal with the sticky draw today but can measure up over the extra trip. BELLEISTIC BONNY (5) close to her top now third-up and ready for this trip. Stuck on well when fourth over 6 ?f at Canberra Acton. Gets Quince's claim again and the tongue-tie goes on. Each way. STEP QUICK (4) up in trip on the heavy track with a plugging fifth over 7 ½f at Albury. Winkers come off and gets a key jockey change from the good gate.
